I believe it make sense to use *org.apache.flume.serialization.EventSerializer*   as "serializer" instead of Kafka specific one.

> In 1.6.0, the Kafka sink just sends the content of the body. It would be really cool to be able to have a custom serializer.
> My use case is that I'd like to send some headers as well, or better send the event serialized in JSON: {code}{"headers":{...},"body":"..."}{code}. There could be: body serializer (current behaviour) and JSON serializer.
> Will try to submit a patch soon if this makes sense.
